Kevin Yin’s Globe & Mail piece argues that immigration is the one tool that will save Canada. I don’t hate immigrants, many newcomers are a huge net benefit, but I do believe we’ve relied on immigration as a substitute for fixing deeper problems at home.

In this breakdown I cover:
• Why many young Canadians feel shut out of entry-level jobs and summer work (and how that fuels frustration).
• How government red tape and bad policy, not just population growth, are blocking new housing and investment.
• Why economic growth per person requires more than population gains: we need innovation, training, and manufacturing investment.
• Practical ideas to fix the root causes: slow/targeted immigration, workforce training, tax incentives for domestic manufacturing, and removing development red tape.

This is a call for pragmatic solutions, not scapegoating. If we want Canada to remain prosperous, we must support Canadian businesses, teach financial literacy, and build real pathways to well-paid work for the next generation.
